Tatty's Racing Tips - Friday 2nd December 2011

I certainly cannot complain about yesterday’s little lot – 8 choices, 3 winners and 3 placed. I won a few pennies, hope you all did too.

Today is very busy on the all-weather front with an afternoon meeting at Lingfield along with floodlight cards at both Wolverhampton and Dundalk. For time reasons I am confining my choices to the 2 English meetings (my record at Dundalk is pretty abysmal and that’s being kind).

Here we go then...

Lingfield Park

·12.10Kyleakin Lass - unplaced

·12.40Vickers Vimy - unplaced

·1.10Zaina - 2nd 10/1

·1.45Rowan Ridge - unplaced

·2.20 Hurricane Hymnbook - unplaced

·2.55 Sir Geoffrey - unplaced

·3.30 Rodrigo De Freitas 2nd 13/2

Oh dear, after yesterday's good fortune, Lingfield has brought us back down to earth with a crash! Surely we must do a little better at wonderful, wonderful Wolverhampton.....

Wolverhampton

·4.00 Carcinetto - unplaced

·4.30 Dream Of Fortune - unplaced

·5.00 Loyalty - won 5/2

·5.35 Blanc De Chine - won 2/9

·6.10 Azurinta - unplaced

·6.40 Double Trouble - won 2/5

·7.10 Princess Gail - unplaced

I notice that it is being reported this morning that Martin O'Neill has said yes (this time) to becoming the new Sunderland manager. That obviously will please the many Mackem fans who are crying out for success after the struggles of the last year or so under Steve Bruce. But a word of warning - O'Neills record at his last club Aston Vile was nothing to get particularly excited about and remember that the club sold Darren Bent to that same Vile outfit without the knowledge or approval of Bruce. If they try that sort of shennanigans again, O'Neill will be off faster that you can shout Howay the lads!
